...Governor, Furcolo has spent more than any other executive in state history. Inflation is one cause of this record and debt retirement has proved very expensive. Massachusetts has the largest per capita state debt in the nation, despite the existence of a high state income tax, extra excise taxes and local property levies that pass $90 per $1,000 valuation in Boston. (However, it should be pointed out that part of Furcolo's expenditure has gone to provide additional housing for the elderly, to establish nine state junior colleges, and to reconstruct the inadequate state road system...

Education must meet this need, but funds to finance it can seldom come from the students or their parents, in a land where per capita income hovers around $60 a year. They must come instead from the government. Over 90 percent of UCI's annual budget, for example, is paid for by the Federal government, and hundreds of Nigerians are studying at UCI or abroad on the strength of scholarships from the federal...
